I've just posted a new article on "hot off the press" on my homepage about body image issues.
It's bad enough if you've got them and they make you feel insecure in various ways. But don't forget those feelings can infiltrate the happiness of your relationship if you're not careful.
TODAY’S TIP: If you're within your partner and you’re suffering in silence about body image issues remind yourself of the fact that they're interested in you because they are seeing you! Why would they have more than one date with you if they thought you were so "awful" or "unattractive"??
Keep that in mind in new relationship. And in a long-term relationship I hope you're being honest with your partner about your inner feelings of insecurity over your body. They may just tell you that you're being silly - and they might have a point - even if they put it a bit harshly! Maybe it's time you started seeing yourself as more than your body and as a lovable person?
Value who you are, not your shape.
Happy Monday, Pamx
